But we are supposedly picking our favourites, not say second guessing things or setting out to be adventurous and/or help make it varied. And well our favourites are our favourites.


 Definitely true . 

the semis will be tough - 2 from 6 in each group and there are some big clashes . The big beasts are up against each other! 

ive done the draw just cant get to posting it as out at a garden centre ! Hahah

Interesting format. I am thinking 5 pretty likely finalists except 5 into 4 doesn't go.

OK, I've narrowed it down to 4. Of course it will need 2 of them to be in each SF for me to have a chance of being right.


 Hows your predictions looking now Indy with the groups posted ?

If there is a tie break play off, it will run to 8 pm this evening and final poll will go up around then and run until 8 pm tomorrow.

If theres no tie break, Ill get the final posted sometime just after 5 pm this evening and run it through to 8 pm tomorrow still to allow folks to get home from work etc.

37 votes in the final, not quite 40 but good and thank you to all who voted.

Andy is this years winner and comfortably so - we are the Andy Murray Message Board, originally at least.

 Cool - I am thinking something like the top 80 men and 80 women, plus the top 20 mens doubles and 20 womens doubles not in the singles list for a 200 player draw...I thought half that but not sure if that would diminish the fun.

I would make it 20 groups of 10 and then reduce it quickly to 60 players (6 groups of 10) , then 18 (2 groups of 9) and a final 6 perhaps - I think reducing to 4 takes away some of the fun in this so wont to keep the groups reasonably sized

only thing is, and for one of the mods, could we maybe have a poll/voting section to take away from this general thread - or could predictions be renamed predictions and polling??

 good concept, so limited to current ranked players only . Just thinking, if for example my favorite non Brit is Kim Clijsters or Del Potro, they wouldn't feature in this. Which is fine, just need to clarify the criteria. Looking forward to it!
